Roblox recently added a new feature to games. They call them "Developer Products" but in reality they are called microtransactions. It's basically a gamepass. But this kind you can buy over and over again. For example: In an FPS you can buy a microtransaction/developer product to buy XP or in-game cash. This gives rich players an edge over everyone else, hence why they ruin games. GTA 5. You can buy a microtransaction to get more cash. $2.74 to get 100k GTA$. $13 for 1.25M GTA$. This urins the game for anyone who cannot afford the cash. With said cash you can buy weapons, ammo, cars, etc.
More recently, at the group "The Robloxian Cops" 's place, City of Remmington, the owner of the group added a microtransaction to the knife dealer. You have to pay $7 for a knife and $16 for a trench gun. But they don't stay when you die. If you die you have to buy it again. If you leave the game, you have to buy it again. While the TRC have police batons, pepper spray, even a pistol, FOR FREE. This adds on to the fact that the TRC are relentless and dont care about rules. (FACT)
Microtransactions ruins games. They have already ruined so many games. Don't let them ruin this one. |

It's a part of game design and you'll have to accept it. If you ever try playing a game on your phone or even a F2P mmorpg, you'll see this everywhere.
War group leaders usually don't have any idea how to design a game, so it doesn't surprise me that they're making this move. Usually the cost for having transactions like this is that people just stop playing you game completely. War groups kind of fight this by taunting people and saying (raid us or you lose) and they get to make a good chunk of change in the process. Eventually people will just stop raiding them because of this imbalance, they'll get bored because noone wants to raid then and the group will start dying. kekekeke, just the way it works. |

| Right, and the goal is the same here in ROBLOX. There are different ways to run F2P. Le Bote started off great with microtransactions, having only skins to customize your ship however you wanted. But that game started selling parts for ships that would give you an edge/better weapons. The game lost balance and that pretty much sucks. |
